Same as Edler, both good guys but I don’t think you can rely on these players. I would entertain offers for Tanev.” Canucks should have moved Tanev 3 seasons ago. WOuld have got a solid return of young prospects that would/could be playing for the Canucks now or next year. Love Tanev but he should be gone. TO has lots of prospects with the Marlies. Send him to TO for a couple of them. Edited May 5, 2019 by Boudrias 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants more than what the canucks brass are willing to absorb , you'd think he could net good trade value for the team after what hes done on the ice this year. I'm hoping if thats the case (wont sign for what the teams plans are or need to be ) Eddy hands management a list of teams and picks a playoff team to go to next year. Both tanev and Eddy traded should net a nice little return for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler will either sign with the Canucks or he will sign with someone else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he is that coveted of a Dman but its entirely possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the return is paltry for a pending UFA--Hamhuis only got a 7th rounder in return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I’m wrong but there were a lot of rumors linking him to us even before they made the trade, but Pittsburgh was like “ah screw it” and went for it anyways. Maybe that’s why the return sucked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s why the return sucked? It was actually Philly who acquired his rights, but that does sound about right. I think he was looking at several teams and the Canucks were one of his top choices. We traded away Ehrhoff when it was clear he wasn't resigning with us and we got a 4th round pick in return. If a 44-50 point defenseman gets you a 4th, I can't imagine we'd get much at all for Edler, given that he's a lot older than Ehrhoff was at the time (Ehrhoff was almost 28 when we traded him in contrast Edler at 33 years old now).

But I find it hard to believe teams would be tripping over themselves to trade an asset (albeit a small one) to obtain edlers expiring rights.

Edm would jump at the chance and probably do a switch for 8th to 10th pick. Problem is...no way Edler's going to Edm. Maybe Detroit goes for it. He would be their top LD. He'll likely sign in Van, but I think he's holding out for a NTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Hitch Edmonton needs Ds who are not afraid to skate the puck out using the middle of the ice instead of chipping it in. It's a Hughes type of D that they need. Btw Canucks were 2nd in dump-in rates by mid-February according to Mike Kelly of NHL Network (they use a video tracking software to compile those numbers).

Lucic -6 Sekera -5.5 manning 2.25 pouliot - 1.333 gryba - 300k russel - 4.0 gagner - 3.15 that’s 1/4 of there roster that brings little value. When another 1/4 of there roster is tied up in two players it’s no wonder they are struggling to build a competitive team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
